Stats:
K-State's offensive line helped the Wildcats rush for more than 200
yards per game while also protecting Collin Klein when he dropped back
to pass. He was only sacked 12 times.

About Oregon: Oregon
rotates its defensive linemen in order to remain fresh so the depth here
is great. Freshmen Arik Armstead and DeForest Buckner have started
games and received extensive playing time as backups. Injuries to
regulars forced freshman Alex Balducci into playing time late in the
season. Sophomore Tony Washington has been in the rotation all season.
Jordan is a hybrid defensive end/linebacker who could be a first-round pick next year. As a bonus, Oregon will get back defensive tackle Wade Keliikipi for the Fiesta Bowl after he missed the final three games of the regular season.

About
Kansas State: The Wildcats struggled up front near the end of the
season, but had a nice bounce-back effort against Texas. Early in the
season, K-State's offensive line was arguably best in the Big 12.
Despite injuries, it opened up holes and protected Klein in the pocket.
Any K-State lineman is a threat to pull on any given play, making the
Wildcats' rushing attack harder to stop.

The Oregonian's Aaron
Fentress says: Edge to Oregon. Kansas State has some big bodies upfront
but so does Oregon. The Ducks' depth and speed can become a problem for
opponents.

The Wichita Eagle's Kellis Robinett says: Kansas
State's offensive line had a string of poor games late, but rebounded
with a nice effort against Texas. The unit should be able to build off
that momentum and effectively block against Oregon.
